ADVERTISING.
WHY 1T PAYS AND WHY A LIVE
BUSINESS MAN CANNOT DO
WITHOUT 1T.

The Bridgeport, Conn., Stand
ard has some sensible remarks on
this subject, from which We extract
the following. There was a time
when, perhaps, a mans sign over
his door sufficiently called attention
to his business, and IN connection
with his local reputation in the
mouth of his neighbOThOod, placed
him prominently in the public eye.
Such time could only be when
nobody did more than that-when
that was the course pursued by
dealers generally. To-day, how
ever, attention is called only when
it is compelled so many other
dealers are placing themselves be-
fore the public gaze that he will
never be seen If he does not get in
line with them.
And this is why he cannot stop
advertising. Others will keep on
forcing the public to notice them,
and no attention will he paid if he
is content to be modest and let the
pushers rush their head lines IN
front of the public. In crowdlng
times like these he will be hustled
to the rear, ont of sight, if he does
not crowd too. This is why he can,
not we'll stop spending money for
advertising even after he is well
known. The other we'll known fell
lows. and the new concerns who
hone TO become we'll known, will
not stop also. If he once enters
the race, he cannot hope to win II
he does not run to the fnish-ano
there is no finish until be retlres
from tie business. Another reason
for continuing to hang his banner
on the outer walls IS found in the
fact that people exhibit a tendency
to trade with a prosperous concern
and that persistent, never failing
advertising Is taken as a sign o.
prosperity. When a man stops ad
yertislng his name and business, II
| is interpreted as meaning that hls
stock.in.trade is Of such nature
az not to attract and hold a busl
ness sufficient to enable him to al
ford to pay advertising expenses
II is taken as a sign of his deca
dence if it is perceived that the col
umn which once knew his name
now knows it no more.

A STRANGE CASE DECIDED.
TWO HUSBANDS OF ONE WOMAN
CONTENDING FOR THE
SAME PROPERTY.

LYNCHBURG, VA, May IA
case was practically decided in the
Circuit Court, Judge Horsely pre-
siding, this morning, which proba-
bly, has no parallel in Virginia ju'
rlsprudence. The facts are briefly
stated as follows: In 1S49, James
Dolan, proprietor to the Rose Cot.
tag &c Nursery, died, leaving a wld'
ow who subsequently marred James
McGowan, who was for many years
one of Lynchburg's most prominent
and respected citizens. Mr.. DolaD
left a daughter, who married Mr..
II. f. Smith, who after some time
deserted her, leaving an infant
child, and Mrs. Smith removed to
New York, and after some years
had lapsed, during which time
she had not seen her husband, she
had the right under the laws Of
that state to presume that he was
dead ,and accordingly married a man
named Richard Dorney. Mrs. Nc
Gowan, the mother of Mrs. DOrney,
died, leaving her husband in charge
of the property, without having
made any arrangements for It's di-
vision among her heirs. Her bus
band subsequently died, and now
the anomaly is presented OF two
husbands claiming one wife and all
the property she iDherits from her
parents. for no sooner was Mr.. Nc
Gowan's death announced that Mr..
Smith put in his appearance and
claimed his wife and the share OF
the property, though he had not
been previously heard from for
some years. Mr.. Dorney, consider
ing himselfthe legal husband ofthe
lady, resisted the claim of Smith,
and upon this issue the case came
up for trial before the Circuit Court.
The decision was practically that
Smith by his desertion Of his wife
was not entitled to any share In
the valuable property involved, and
that the marriage to Dorney, in
New York, is valid. After this de-
cision the plaintiff submitted to a
non. n.sult, and 1t Is impossible now
TO say whether or no the case is
ended. 1t may be revived and the
litigation continued.

THE ROANOKE TRAGEDY.
rLynchburg Advance, goth.

The attempted murder and sui
eide, briefly referred to yesterday,
as having occurred the night before
last in Roanoke, is now understood
to have been about as follows !:
George d. Layelle, who had been
drinking heavily for some time,
called, about Q o'clock at the house
of G. Z. Reynolds, bar.keeper,
with whom he was on the most in
innate terms, saying he wished to
see him. Reynolds went out, aud
after a brief conversation, a pistol
shot was heard, followed by ano.h-
er in quick succession.
Reynolds retreated into his room
and fell in his wi(e's arm, with q
pistol shot wound near the right
ear. Lavelle, at the second DIS
charge, sent bullet through his
own temple, and fell on the stair.
way.
There seems to be no doubt that
it was a case Of attempted murder
and suicide, as Lavelle had been
heard to make some mysterious
threats against Reynolds during
the day. Lavelle was about twen-
ty.two years Old, and Reynolds
about thirty. The condition OF
Reynolds is necessarily critical.

BRAVE DOG ROVER.
He DRAGS A HALF.SUFPOCATED
SLEEPER OUT OF A BURN
ING BUILDING.
Now York Sun.

SeybOths & POdlasky's fur dye
ing and Undressing establishment,
large frame building in Ellery
street, Brooklyn, was burned to the
ground yesterday morning. 1t took
fire at | o'clock in the extreme
western end of the lower floor. In
an upper room at the western end
II. Jacobs and Hirsh Mendel, two
young wOrkmen, were sleeping.
Rover, a Newfoundland dog be-
longing to Mr. John Seybotb, had
the run of the building, and he
seems to have been the first to dis.
cover the fire. Without wasting
any time in efforts to extinguish
the flames, he ran up stairs to the
room of the sleeping men and en-
deavored TO arouse them. He
doubtless barked at them and
punched them with his paws with
out awaking them. At last, and
there can be no doubt about this,
he caught the bed covering with
his teeth and pulled them of from
the first bed, in which Jacobs was
sleeping. Even that did not rouse
the slumberer. Then the dog ap-
piled his teeth to the mans ankles,
wrists, and shoulder, and finally
succeeded in partially arousing
him. The man jumped from the
bed in a dazed condition and ran
down stairs, the dog following him
closely. A door opened upon the
street Immediately at thu foot OF
the stars, but it was locked and
the man was so confused and
frightened that he could not find
the key to open it.
Meanwhile the flames had made
such progress as to shut off any
other means of escape. The dog
comprehended the situation, if the
man did not, and began a vigorous
bowling which attracted the atten.
tion of the gathering crowd in the
street, who broke the door in, and
man and dog rushed out together.
But Rover was not yet through
his work of rescue. He remem-
bered Mendel, the other sleeper
AS soon as he was satisfied of the
first mans safety be dashed back
into the burning building, ran up
the stairs, and without parleying
seized Mendel by the shoulder,
dragged hin down the stairs into
| the street. When he was brought
out by the dog Mendel was so
nearly suifocated with smoke that
he was unconscious, and bystand-
ers dashed water in his face to re-
viye him. Hundreds of people
witnessed the last act of the inteli
| gent dog, while scores saw his
